Great Expectations

I was writing one of my college essays when I started thinking about how we live our lives. It always seems like we’re waiting for something to happen, looking forward to the next big event. During marching rehearsal, I’m looking forward to it being over, and while typing up college apps, I’m dying to get […]

Gold, you say?

“Don’t worry about any of the proper formalities. The Emperor is a very pleasant man, and understands that your culture embraces matters like this differently,” Tiberius whispered into Jenkins’s ear. They stood in the waiting room of the apparent Capitol building, where, within, the Emperor reigned over the city-state.Presently, the guards gestured the party inside. […]

Nice Little Island, You’ve Got Here

“Captain, are you sure you want to send a landing party already? We haven’t even scouted out the size of this island, and barely the area.” McKidd struggled to keep up with Jenkins, who hastily ran about the ship, checking on preparations for the landing party.“Of course.” He grabbed an Enfield off the shelf, looking […]

Senior Year? Not much of a Party

It’s come to my attention how dependent I have become on internet, and in the ways I didn’t think.I must say, I didn’t miss IM much. I don’t do it much now, and if something is really that important, they can call me. Regardless, I’ll still be on most of the time (my new policy, […]

Band, and how to have a life while doing Band

Okay, I lie about the 2nd part. I don’t have a life, but if I did, I’d be working on it.So pretty much immediately after I got back from Austin, I began summer band, which was kind of bad since my procrastination has created backup in the other stuff I need to do, but I […]
